I was out for a walk after dinner (open-carrying).
Wilkes-Barre City police stopped me because someone called 911.
My firearm was taken from me.
I was cursed at and insulted.
Then I was told that open-carry is not allowed.
That only police officers can open-carry.
And that Pennsylvania doesn't recognize any out-of-state concealed carry permits.
They gave no legal reason for the seizure of my firearm.
And if I wanted my firearm back I would have to go down to police HQ on Monday with a lawyer.
I have contacted an attorney and am following his instructions.
Your thoughts, comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry to hear about what happened. Hearing things like this makes me sick.
On a brighter note, you definitely came to the right place. You're in good hands now.
You definitely have to pursue legal action. This cannot be allowed to happen. Period.
Good luck.
